Art and Medicine

Catalog description

This course explores the visual culture of medicine, examining visualizations in and of medicine from a range of perspectives: regarding them as purveyors of technical information; technologies by which the stature of medicine has been established; instruments of objectification; and objects of popular fascination; and all imbued with aesthetic dimensions that have contributed to their allure and authority, and their therapeutic efficacy, too. Restriction: Must be enrolled in the RN-BS Online Nursing Program. Offered regularly.
